You ever heard the statement ” SHOP. n. COMPARE ,”. Nothing has been said by the news media that arrests for drunken driving are about the same or up or down since road sobriety tests began. If there were 25 arrests in September ,2018 for drunken driving, has that number increased. Someone should applaud the police service .
why weren’t they up Southampton Princess. Were they told not too ??
They cudda made so much xmas bonus money on both sides of that hill too. Prolly Wudda been more than 10 arrested all wearing green
Well those numbers are a load of BS given the rugby event. Humans don’t just turn responsible over night. If there was favoritism for foreigners it will be met with a harsh response.
There are vagrants on Front Street openly drinking alcohol, using profanity, sleeping on the street… Why is this illegal activity not being addressed. I have never seen a tourist destination of choice that has such a tarnish on their frontline! Wakanda didnt have alcoholic vagrants anywhere… Are the PLP aware of that?!?
